Can a W-2 employee deduct a home office?
CPAKnowledge Engine ResponseLatency: 1.2s • Citation Budget: Passed

No. For tax years 2018 through 2025, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) suspended unreimbursed employee expense deductions for W-2 workers [1]. However, self-employed individuals reporting business income on Schedule C remain fully eligible [2].

How a question becomes a cited answer

  1. 1

    You ask in plain English

    Pose a real accounting or tax question, the way you would to a colleague.

  2. 2

    It retrieves, then reranks

    We search a private, curated corpus and pass only the most relevant passages to the model.

  3. 3

    You get a sourced answer

    Every claim is cited inline. If the corpus is silent, the answer says so instead of guessing.

Privacy is the product

The reason CPAs can trust this with client work: the knowledge base never leaves your own infrastructure, and your customers only ever see answers.

  • Self-hosted embeddings

    Your corpus is embedded by a model you run. It is never sent to a third-party AI.

  • Your database, your control

    Documents stay in your own Postgres. They never leave your infrastructure.

  • Answers, not documents

    Customers receive cited answers. The underlying source files are never exposed.

From real desks

How practices use a private, cited assistant day to day.

Two accountants reviewing documents together in a small firm office

Small firm · 4 staff

The senior partner in every seat

Staff ask the corpus before they ask a partner. Answers carry citations, so review time drops and junior work ships with sources attached. The compliance board keeps every entity's filings on one screen.

Review cycles cut roughly in half

Clients drop documents through the portal link, figures extract themselves, books sync categorized. The tax-prep brief pulls it all together with the client's own numbers next to the law.
